Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented June 28, 1921.

Application filed April 13, 1920. Serial No. 373,574.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, GEORGE H. T1L1GSTON, a citizen of the United States, residing at Kansas City, in the .county of Jackson and.

State of Missouri, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Eye- Shades, of which the following is a speclfication, reference being had to the drawings accompanying and forming a part of the fication, Fig. 2 showing the extended braid:

as covered by my claims.

The improved shade is shown as comprising a body member 1 having a series of holes 3 and 4 through which a ribbon or cord 2 is interwoven, the ribbon on cord being securely fastened to the body of the shade 1 by means of the knots 5 and 6 tied in the ribbon or cord and bearing against the body member 1, upon passing through small holes,

as at 5 and 6, in said member 1. An extension 7 of the cord or ribbon 2, Fig. 2, provides an improved head strap. Fig. 1 sets forth that portion of my invention embodying a forehead protecting member, and is represented by a single winding of ribbon or braid 2 terminating in the knots 5 and 6 at each side of the body member 1. Fig. 2 includes the head strap 7 which, after knotting through the body 1 as at 6, forms a forehead protector 2. Fig. 3 represents the protector 2 as being interwoven twice through the holes 34=.

' 7 Having described my invention, what I claim is:

1. The combination with an eye-shade having ventilation holes, of a strip of flexible material passing alternately through said holes and over the edge of the shade which fits adjacent the forehead, and means for securing the ends of the said strip to th shade.

2. An eyeshade provided with a series of holes in proximity to the edge fitting the forehead, a member consisting of a ribbon, braid or cord passing through said holes and over the said edge of the shade to form a protection to the forehead from the edge of the shade, and the said member extending from the shade to form a head strap.
